Sad news comes today from the family of Ray Deter, the 53-year-old owner of beer bars D.B.A. who has been in critical condition at Bellevue after colliding with a Jaguar on Canal Street this Monday: Deter's family says he will not make it through the weekend.
"Thanks so much for everyone's kind words and support for me and the boys....Ray will no longer be with us after this weekend, but we hope our loss will give life to others. Please celebrate Ray as he passes on. Love to you all, Catherine, Jake & Maxwell xxxx" reads the Facebook post. Earlier this week, Deter's wife of 21 years, Catherine Lepp, said her husband claimed his head was too big to wear a helmet, "but that's rubbish." EV Grieve says that more information will be posted at a later date regarding funeral arrangements.
